Guidance Counselors are finding a way to incorporate internet safety into their lessons- PA Elementary.

We tied a library and computer lab lesson in with internet safety and plagiarism at College Park.

Much of the internet safety training deals with safe practices at home.

Carl stated that his LMS spent two straight weeks going over internet safety for the first two weeks of school, and he reinforced the lessons in the lab. Steve spent the month of September with his students going over the lesson, then gave copies of the Internet Safety rules to every student to take home to post by their own computers. After the lessons, Steve worked with the school art teacher to help students create internet safety posters for the district contest. One of his fourth graders won for the district for fourth and fifth grade.

Karon sent the internet safety rules home with the students at Woodstock.
